靠杯喔

我的人生你們安靜地看就好

傻子與白痴 Fool and Idiot - 5 : 1 0 a.m.

[fyeahcindie]

This was just posted today, but it ain't no Christmas tune, just a killer from 傻子與白痴 Fool and Idiot! =D

No credits with the tune at YT, only the English lyrics. The arrangement is perfect, with some rock guitars, a simple drum pattern and ear candy (instruments/backing vocals) throughout. Love the backing vocals.

The members are 蔡維澤 Eric Tsai-Voc/Gtr (Eric Tsai IG), 鄭光良 Light-Gtr (Light Liang IG), 徐維均 Wei Jun-Drums (Wei Jun IG), 李沂邦 Yi-Bang Lee-Bass (Yi-Bang IG).  

I thought 葉少菲 (Alan Yeh) was with them on keys, but I don't see him tagged in any recent stuff at IG. Maybe he is/was a support player?

We have featured the band a bunch of times going back 4 or 5 years, most recently a few weeks ago HERE.

Fool and Idiot 傻子與白痴 are an ‘indie folk/ambient’ band that formed in 2015.  They have a similar chill groove style to Sunset Rollercoaster, and I really like it!  =D

The members are: 蔡維澤-Vocal, 鄭光良-gtr, 徐維均-drums, 葉少菲 (Alan Yeh)-keys, 李沂邦 Yi-Bang Lee-bass. (I think Yi-Bang Lee joined towards the end of 2018, singer 蔡維澤 was playing bass when they were a 4-piece.)

The song is from their new full-length album, 夜長夢少 (the English title on the cover is Till 5:10 a.m.) KKBOX has the tracklist, and the band is directing fans to these listening/buying links.  

李詠恩 Joshua Lee from Hello Nico co-produced with the band. Joshua is certainly in demand, his name seems to pop up everywhere!

Speaking of Joshua, he just posted something about the TW Ministry of Culture grants that I don’t quite understand, *maybe somebody can help clarify: “希望有去評補助的各位大大們有機會能建議文化部把樂團兩個字拿掉，畢竟很多人明明就不是樂團，還是拿到補助了，而且平時就是創作歌手報名時也覺得心裡不踏實，而是否需要補助跟是否是值得補助的好音樂也跟是不是樂團無關聯，這樣子把門真的打開是不是更好？”

I think it is something about grants for singers versus grants for bands???

*UPDATE:  Big Thank You to my Lim for this translation, this is very helpful:

[What Joshua said is about the grants award by the ministry of culture, the title of the grant is 流行音樂製作發行補助(創作樂團類) , translate as "Popmusic production and distribution grant (singer-songwriter bands) " https://grants.moc.gov.tw/W...

The problem in here is that the definition of "band" doesn't refer to how its defines normally (a vocalist, base, guitar, drums etc.). In here, a member of a "band" could be any instrument players, producer, recording engineer, mixing engineer or even administrator. So that means individual artists are eligible to apply, for example a few receivers on the list include LINION, 楊士弘, Sonia Calico and 范安婷. So Joshua was suggesting that the title/definition of the grants should be less confusing]
